    The difference between “check in” and “register”

    You may see an option to register for the class instead of “check in.” The difference between these options is:

    • Check in: the participant has already registered for this class prior to check in. This means the student just has to check-in.
    • Register: the participant could register for the class from the attendance portal directly. Clicking “register” from here will automatically register and check-in the student to the class for that day.

    2. Select the class that the participant pre-registered for.
    3. Choose the check in method.
    4. Click “check in.” If the option says “register” instead, then the student did not pre-register for this particular class or class time.

    Why you have to select a student’s membership

    When registering for a class from the attendance portal, the participant may need to select a trial or membership. This occurs when the student is in more than one active trial or membership. 

     

    Selecting a trial or membership is required so that the system can connect the attendance to the correct registration. This ensures that attendance limits and rank requirements for each registration are counted correctly.
